A mass of 8 kg stretches a spring 16 cm. The mass is acted on by an external force of 7sin(t/4)N and moves in a medium that imparts a viscous force of 3 N when the speed of the mass is 6 cm/s.If the mass is set in motion from its equilibrium position with an initial velocity of 4 cm/s, determine the position u of the mass at any time t. Use 9.8 m/s^2 as the acceleration due to gravity. Pay close attention to the units.
